ABSTRACT:
A manifold device for a fuel cell system comprises a body shell having at least one opening, a closure plate having a protrusive portion and being mounted on the shell to form a manifold box, and a distribution unit arranged in the shell to partition an interior space of the shell into the first and second chambers. The unit comprises a pair of partitioning members and a partitioning plate mounted thereon in a spaced relationship to form slit-like gaps between them. The protrusive portion of the closure plate is provided with slit-like blowholes to supply process gas to a fuel cell stack. The partitioning plate is provided with a distributor and a deflector. The distributor is positioned in front of the opening so as to divide the gas flow from the opening into an upward flow and a downward flow, while the deflector is mounted on the exterior surface of partitioning plate and extends vertically in parallel to a center line of the protrusive portion to allow the process gas to converge to the protrusive portion of the closure plate.
